"Borinquen Gallo (born 1975) is an Italian-Puerto Rican artist currently based in New York City.
When Borinquen Gallo was 13 she moved with her family from native Rome to New York City to volunteer as missionaries; they settled down in The Bronx.
She earned a BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art and an MFA from Hunter College.
Her installations are mainly focused on questioning the relationship with the environment and, according to the artist, their objective is to sensitize people about the need for an harmonious coexistence and respect for nature.
